Abstract

In the present study an attempt has been made to compute vertical velocities by a 10-level balanced model in the case of a ,monsoon depression. Maximum vertical motion of the order of lO-3mb/sec is obtained. A characteristic feature of the rainfall distribution in a monsoon depression is the occurrence of fairly widespread rainfall in the SW sector, This model depicts a maximum upward motion in the same sector.

The results have been compared with the computations made by quasi-geostrophic model as well as kinematic method. The suitability of the balance model in the tropics, has been discussed.
